Chapter 56: Chapter 56: I’m Going to Find Xiao Yao Celestial Venerable!
Chen Lan’s face froze for a moment, just about to answer.
"Sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken like that, you’re so young and already at the Nascent Soul stage, I didn’t mean to provoke the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao," Yan Yu hurriedly apologized.
What she had just said was a bit problematic. If the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao had heard it, he probably wouldn’t spare Chen Lan.
Chen Lan’s mouth twitched, finding it somewhat amusing. How would Yan Yu react if she found out he himself was the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao?
"But that day on the rooftop, did you see him?" Yan Yu asked.
At that time, everyone’s attention was on her. Perhaps Chen Lan, who was on the rooftop, saw the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao.
"I did." Chen Lan nodded.
"What?! Really? What did he look like?"
Hearing this answer, Yan Yu was instantly invigorated.
Chen Lan had actually seen the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao.
"A man, very young." Chen Lan deliberately pretended to recall.
Yan Yu looked at him with an eager, expectant expression, anxiously wanting to know the answer.
"Is he handsome?"
"Handsome." Chen Lan said it with a straight face.
A little self-indulgence, no problem, right?
Yan Yu’s reaction was even bigger when she heard the word ’handsome’.
Her cheeks even blushed slightly.
Young and handsome, and so powerful!
Such a man is truly rare in this world!
Yan Yu’s desire to meet the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao grew even stronger.
Seeing Yan Yu, someone at the Tribulation Stage, acting lovestruck, Chen Lan felt a bit embarrassed.
This Yan Yu appeared to have a bit of a contrast.
Back at school, Yan Yu was known to be distant, barely speaking a word to students.
Students had nicknamed her the Iceberg Teacher.
Now she was showing such an expression.
Chen Lan felt that this was not a place to stay for long.
"Principal Yan, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first."
"Alright, off you go."
Chen Lan nodded and left the principal’s office.
After Chen Lan left, Yan Yu no longer hid her feelings and instead let out a lovesick smile.
"Young and handsome, with such strength, he’s simply my ideal type. I might be the first to know the basic appearance of the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao."
The little heart Yan Yu had kept hidden was pounding hard.
Her favorite thing was strong individuals!
The best would be the domineering type!
...
Dormitory.
"Taozi, go and gather everyone on this list at the playground for me." Chen Lan returned to the dormitory and sent a list to Luo Tao.
"Whoa, this many people? Are we going to war?" Luo Tao was surprised to see over a hundred names on the list.
"You guessed right. The Demon Beasts will materialize this afternoon, so we should prepare in advance. I’ll take you guys out for some fun."
"Okay, I’ll go gather them right away."
As Luo Tao left, the sky suddenly filled with dark clouds, with thunder and lightning.
The Alchemy Gold List appeared again.
However, this time, it started reading from the twentieth place.
Yesterday, it was interrupted by the Cultivation Golden List, forcing it to stop halfway.
Chen Lan looked at the Alchemy Gold List in the sky. He should still be in first place because he remembered getting the strongest Divine Pill in the game.
[Eight-Grade Elixir, Celestial Tyrant Saint Gang Pill]
Upon consumption, revive with full health and immunity from damage for eight seconds!
Of course, that’s the effect in the game, but the effect changes once the elixir materializes.
[Restore to peak state, immune to all methods, invincibly robust, impervious to weapons, lasting eight seconds.]
Basically, it means invincibility for eight seconds. During this time, no matter how many spells or whatever, none of it would affect him; he’d be invincible.
This pill was a reward from an event, a New Year’s event, obtain the first place on the damage leaderboard to get the Eight-Grade Elixir by defeating the Nian Beast.
No one played back then, so he killed the Nian Beast alone, three times a day, and resolved it in four days.
He already figured out the Gold List rewards.
Each reward is the item from the next Gold List. For example, the reward from the Cultivation Gold List is a Magical Treasure, the Magical Treasure Gold List rewards an Elixir, and the Alchemy Gold List will reward something from the next one.
He doesn’t know what’s next yet, but he’ll see from others’ rewards later.
Soon, he saw with his Divine Sense that people had gathered on the playground, so he quickly left.
...
Longdu, in a certain villa.
"Miss, you mustn’t go out, the master will be worried."
"Yes, you mustn’t go out, it’s too dangerous outside."
"Outside, there are Demon Beasts and sinister-minded people; you absolutely can’t go out."
In a bedroom, a beautiful young girl with a youthful appearance was packing her luggage. She was Misty Fairy, Gu Ying.
Next to her stood several maids, all kindly advising her.
"Stop all this, I must go to Qin City, my Dao partner is there. I can’t let anyone else beat me to it!"
Misty Fairy spoke earnestly, putting her luggage into her Storage Ring, preparing to leave.
She knew the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao was in Qin City because she remembered asking about it when playing a game with him.
He only mentioned Qin City, nothing else.
Although she didn’t know the name, age, or appearance, she believed that once fate arrived, she would naturally meet the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao.
She knew the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao had more than one Dao partner; after all, it was just a game.
She had several Dao partners back then, but she had broken ties with them all. Only playing with the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao made her happy.
Now, she’s leaving for her own happiness!
"Where are you going?!" A voice sounded behind her.
Gu Ying turned to see her father.
"I’m going to find my Dao partner and elope with him!" Gu Ying said with arms akimbo.
Seeing his daughter like this, Father Gu felt a headache. His daughter, what was it, just too mischievous.
Already in her twenties, yet still so mischievous, like a child who never grows up.
Only because he had spoiled her too much.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You’re at the Tribulation Stage, and you plan to elope with someone?"
Hearing his daughter’s words, Father Gu almost had a stroke, almost losing his balance, staying upright only with the support of a servant.
"I’m putting it plainly, you are not to go after anyone!" Father Gu angrily shouted.
Not very young anymore, yet still engaging in worrying behavior.
Already at the Tribulation Stage, yet talking about eloping with someone.
Wouldn’t mentioning this bring laughter?
"I’m going to find Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao!" Gu Ying shouted loudly.
She hadn’t told her family about her Dao partner being the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao, only she knew.
Once those words were out, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.
Father Gu widened his eyes, staring at his daughter, then quickly reacted, looking around nervously while covering Gu Ying’s mouth, "Are you crazy? That’s the Great Emperor, who can hear us!"
Slowly, Father Gu released his grip, frightened, "Are you insane?! You can’t just go seeking the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao!"
Thankfully, the Great Emperor seemed not to have heard; otherwise, they’d be doomed!
Oh no, the entire Gu Family would be doomed!
"But he’s my Dao partner."
